AI STRATEGY
Commenting on the importance of this education , Lewis said : “ There needs to be education on a number of different fronts . So education on the governmental side to what AI is and what AI really can do , and what AI is not . Because there are lots of misconceptions out there and fears . Some are founded and some are not .”
“ But then on the flip side , we also need the private sector to understand what these uses for governments are ,” he continued .
The need for AI education permeates throughout society . Without education at all levels , citizens won ’ t understand the benefits of this technology within society and the younger generation will not be able to tackle the new jobs the development of AI technology will bring .
“ We want to make sure that the next generation of students has chances to learn but also educate the public ,” said Lee .
She added : “ We ' re not at a point right now where we have general AI on the marketplace and education will help us get there .”
Creating direction with regulation As many nations across the globe adopt this technology , nations are in a race to become an AI superpower . “ There should be speed , but there should also be direction . Right now , we ' re all speed and no direction ,” said Lewis .
To gain some direction , policymakers need to consider the regulation and laws around creating and implementing this technology . Within many nations , laws have evolved incrementally and are updated regularly .
AI and the regulation around it should be treated in the same manner , as Lee explains : “ It ’ s just really important to get some good incremental steps down .”
